Exam 2 Ch. 7 Flashcards
Define Oxidation
Removal of hydrogen atoms
Define Reduction
Addition of hydrogen atoms
Why does oxidation and reduction happen in pairs
If one thing is being oxidized, something else will need to be reduced.
Essentially, the hydrogen atoms that were oxidized will need to go somewhere
Oxidation/Reduction equation
C6H12O6+6O2—–>6CO2+6H2O+energy
Oxidation part of photosynthesis equation
C6H12O6+6O2—->6CO2
Reduction part of photosynthesis equation
6O2—->6CO2+6H2O+energy
What is the significance of NAD+ and FADH2 in cellular respiration
NAD+ and FADH2 are released in the beginning of cellular respiration (NAD -glycolysis, NAD and FADH2-Krebs) they provide hydrogen to oxygen to create water during the electron transport train. Hydrogens are used by the ATP synthase enzyme to make ATP by pulling hydrogen molecules across the membrane. They also donate electrons to the electron transport train
